Joe Strummer's DEAD!!!!
What can I say about 1977 that hasn't been said
before? When most people think of Punk, it's a cinch
they will think of 1977...
We ain't gonna be treated like trash
We got one thing
We are the Clash
What?
We are the Clash
It's like a patch
You can strike that match
Back in 1976, a fledgling practice band asks a pub
rock star at the unemployment line to join their
outfit and a legend is born. What is not told is how
this improbable outfit was the work of a crazed
svengali, looking to rival his boss' band who were put
together to sell blue jeans and bondage gear... Mick
Jones, Paul Simonon and Joe Strummer were three
totally different people from one another and even
from their fans and contemporaries...
tommy gun
you'll be dead when your war is won
tommy gun
but did you have to gun down everyone?
i can see it's kill or be killed
a nation of destiny has got to be fulfilled
whatever you want, you're gonna get it!
Joe Strummer was born in Ankara, Turkey, the son of a
Scottish diplomat.
///
"Punk legend Joe Strummer of "The Clash" has died, his
record company said Monday. He was 50."
\\\
They say that to see the Clash in 1977 was to see a
band on fire... Very few bands have matched the pure
catharsis the Clash embodied in their early days. They
were a blur onstage, constantly in motion, fueled by
their prodigous speed consumption. Strummer performed
like the stage was electrified, spitting and shaking
and convulsing.
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look at us
All that phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing
///
"Punk legend Joe Strummer of "The Clash" has died, his
record company said Monday. He was 50."
\\\
The outrageous antics of the Punk movement attracted
the attention of Her Majesty's police and the Clash
continually found themselves in and out of the dock on
a procession of petty charges. This harassment could
not stop them...
London's burning with boredom now...
London's burning dial 99999
///
"Punk legend Joe Strummer of "The Clash" has died, his
record company said Monday. He was 50."
\\\
The Clash have been one of the most important
political bands in Britain... one of the most coz
there have been others too... not the Clash though...
they hated and condemned drugs as another means to
submission, they took part in riots... they said
"evolve oR die"...
Yankee detectives
Are always on the TV
'Cos killers in America
Work seven days a week
Joe Strummer died at the age of 50... the cause of his
death's still undentified... some say it was a heart
attack...
No matter what I say about him, about the Clash, will
be just words unable to catch the significance, the
infuence and the weight this band holds...
Rest In Peace, Joe Strummer... We shall remember
you...
Vel
"N' every gimmick hungry yob digging gold from rock
'n' roll
Grabs the mike to tell us he'll die before he's sold
But i believe in this-and it's been tested by research
That he who fucks nun will later join the church"
The Clash "Death oR GloRy"

Hello!
Today was lovely. The girl, who I thought had left me forever, wasn't lost
at all. She was back! And if that wasn't enough the girl with the dark brown
hair was here and the man and the woman were here too!
They forgot to get excited this morning when they stumbled into the kitchen
so of course I had to remind them...These people are so often forgetting to
get excited about things. Its quite strange because they seem to always
remember to get cross if I accidentally chew up a whole box of tissues.
Having said that the girl has remembered to get excited about some strange
things recently. When she eventually found her way back she bounced around
telling me that the band that make me a little bit famous had been on the
radio. And my name had been mentioned quite a few times! I felt pretty proud
I can tell you!
The nice thing about seeing people you havenÂ’t seen for a long, long time is
it makes you remember how much you love them. I was really pleased to see
the girl again (even if I was more pleased to see the woman cooking the
chicken this evening). IÂ’ll even forgive her for being a bit lazy, she was
going to write and tell you about some competitions on that web-site of
hers. It seems that not only can you write on a computer but you can draw on
one too...and some people did... Look!
http://www.friendsoftheheroes.co.uk/competitionresults/
The girl and her friends thought this competition was quite a fun thing to
do and so decided to have another competition... and it is here!
http://www.friendsoftheheroes.co.uk/competition/
I hope lot of people will enter because as the girl got very excited when
people entered the last one and life is so much nicer when the girl is
getting excited instead of getting angry because tissues have been torn up.
In fact life is so much nicer when people are going around feeling happy and
excited in general...
Oh a box of tissues... I better go!
Love and kisses,
Belle
xx
**********
"good grief belle! Even your tongue has sand on it" I could tell she was
impressed with my disguise.

A Sunday morning, a hangover. Both undeserved.
My Christmas shopping took in a lot of bookish things
this year. Waterstones 3 for 2 offer looked generous,
and made me smug until I realised all three books were
actually just for me. Thanks anyway, mind. I also now
(briefly) own three copies of "The Basic Eight", and
I'm in a good mind to keep them, lined up on my shelf
in prime viewing position so that when I eventually
get Laura Llew into my boudoir I shall render her
stupefied. Not that this is a good thing - I wonder if
we shall see an Xmas post from la Llew?
One of the reasons for this hangover is the inability
of the non-sinister British male to approach a public
bar and order a shandy. My god, what has the world
come to? Do these people not remember the days when a
can of Shandy Bass was the most s'phisticated, grown
up thing you could drink? A step onwards and upwards
from the beer-flavoured floppy sweet. Mmm, floppy
sweets.
So anyway, some brylcreemed boy who I could tell had
me marked down as some kind of poofter refused point
blank to buy me a half-lemonade drinkie. So I had to
have proper lager, etc. etc. Luckily I was able to
sleep till 11.30, so at least part of my day hasn't
been spoiled.
Belle and Sebastian, on the radio. Nice. Especially
Photo Jenny! Aww! Stuart and Traceyanne at HDIF? Even
nicer. Though possibly the first and last time the
Buffalo Bars will hear the Human League being segued
into Madonna in Ian Watson's lifetime ;)
Everyone sent your Sinister pressies? Hmm? Thanks to
my kind benefactor, btw, though I have successfully
resisted opening it until the big day. I hope none of
you have been peeking...
Laters y'all. There's a bacon butty with my name on it
(in lard) out there somewhere...
Mark xxx

On BBC Radio there was a John Peel session on which B&S Performed Christmas
Carols and various songs, it was pretty good - despite having to listen to
some godawful jungle tunes in between sets. I rather liked their rendition
of that 12 days of Christmas (HOHO!) song and when they played "Get me away
from here, I'm dying" I reminisced the time when I listened to that song
(and indeed B&S) for the first time.
Speaking of dying, I wasn't that far from it in the past two days from
drinking far too heavily, I went to the "How does it feel to be loved" club
on Thursday, where "Mr Pansy" himself made an appearance and DJed.
Unfortunately by then I was too drunk to laugh at his Pansicity, nor
pronounce "How does it feel to be loved" with any kind of
Articulatediousness, nor get home without taking a detour to the end of the
bus line, and back again oh yeah.
I hope everyone who went enjoyed themselves, I did! I was also going to
take photos, but see above paragraph for clues as to why I had failed to do
so.
On BBC TV there is a drama thing that's coming out soon called "Wit" and the
adverts for it uses "FREAK" as the background music (The instrumental one
that is the first track of Storytelling, as opposed to the ROCK number by
Silverchair)
It excited me and a hopped a little bit from my chair.
Ken
P.S.: So, B&S playing card poker night, anyone? When shall we go?
P.S.2: I think James Thornily wants to go bowling, anyone? When shall we
go?
X-box: Answers on an e-mail to me please.

So I wasn't the only one listening to the final Evening Session and feeling
like yet another piece of my childhood was being torn from me.
Anyway. To all those whose only Christmas wish is for Santa to throw the Maida
Vale set at them, you may (courtesy those darlings at the other place) get it
here:

It's SWEATER, mon, always SWEATER. As in -- 'Where's
your sweater?': prounounced 'sweader'.
THE BUTCHER, THE BAKER, THE BANKER, THE CLERK
>>> What would Irving Berlin say (I poured my heart
into you, son)?
I guess he'd say: so *this* is what you do when your
songs have dried up: you a) start actually playing
them to people and b) use mine.
What would Harold Arlen say? That's the question
Michael Feinstein has been raising on the radio. I
don't know HA too well, but Fitzgerald did do a
songbook of his work: come to think of it I have her
'Devil & The Deep Blue Sea'.
Correction, it was a *double* song-book. It's funny
how she uses the words 'so-and-so', isn't it?
CHOCOLATE FIRM
>>> I wouldn't have eaten seventeen advent calendar
chocolates at once, I think.
Even if it was a RANGERS advent calendar? This is not
a mere frippery, you know.
>>> In fact, I know.
Oh, OK.
NIL BY WALLET
>>> I got a zip. Check: zip.
Is this meant to carry the secondary connotation of 'a
cheque for zilch'? Or am I... reading too much into
it?
YET AGAIN THAT WOOLLY THING
>>> Always meet your heroes though - they say things
like 'I like your jumper'.
It's SWEADER, mon, I keep tellin ye.
KING COLE
>>> 'Brand New Friend'. !!
Here's a reciprocal tale: not long ago I was in a
bookshop, and in the mid-morning street outside a
vehicle passed playing... some brassy 80s noise. I
heard it distantly, affectionately, felt it meant
something slight to me. Those deep-coded reactions.
Then I realized it was 'Lost Weekend'.
Another: I heard the same track on the Janice Long
show, after midnight. What's going on?
As for 'BNF' itself: try the version on LOADED. I
think Quine is playing the whammy bar. And eating a,
um, MOUND bar in between whams.
KICK
>>> Have you ever tried to write a song based around
only one major rhyming sound? It's not SO easy. What
WOULD he say? (..looking for the tune..).
Fly-
ing too high
In the sky
With some guy
Is my
I-
dea of nothing to do
LURPAK
The lad Walton mailed and said he'd heard the last
Evening Session. Me, I heard a snippet, tuned away,
never realized I was missing history being unmade.
Only the lad Walton had that privilege.
O, COME
Some characters mentioned B&S playing some kind of
xmas radio concert. Naturally I didn't hear it, but
this actually sounds like a more than half decent
idea.
POEM
I am hoping for a sinister xmas post from la llew
aren't you?
ICE SKATERS
Literary criticism, that's what I really want to get
round to. That sentence ended with a preposition, a
poor thing.
THIS JUST IN
Next Friday Jimmy Webb - !! - will be joining Le
Feinstein on piano for 'a new song'.

sinister,
i was going to post about a little article in the guardian a month or so ago because
it mentioned our very own peel favourites, b+s. the general gist of it was that
david white (i think) had the mp3s of a live show on a site. the band and banchory
were happy with it but jeepster wouldnt say either way whether they minded so it was
forced down. im not sure there was any moral to the story but it took up a page in
the paper and had quotes from neil and things.
last night, an american girl id only just met told me "you strike me as a belle and
sebastian fan". it came out of the blue, based on nothing other than how i look i
guess and i was speechless for a couple of seconds as a result. it scares me that im
part of a recognised breed when i was just an odd-looking person not so very long
ago. what can we blame most for this... high fidelity, storytelling, teachers or
just general popularity?
today i partook in my own particular christmas shopping hell. plans to go tuesday,
wednesday, even thursday failed so i ended up in the middle of manchester city
centre on a friday afternoon. im sure i dont need to tell you what that was like but
not even the hundreds of cuties (a friend's word, not mine) on oldham street could
cheer me up. but i found plenty of presents - joy div tshirt, airfix model, graphic
design book, loads and loads of gift vouchers - so i should just be thankful its
over with and i can still sit and type.
on the far end of the busy-things scale, the internet goes very dead every
christmas. youd have thought people would be stuck indoors for long periods and
would have nothing to do but email sinister. but no, everyone disappears into a
christmas vortex for a couple of weeks instead - they cant be christmas shopping all
that time, can they? i guess at least it means in january people will just delete
this and the other 200 unread emails in their inbox and i can pretend it never
happened.
merry merriment,
c.
ps. if anyone in manchester wants to try a music project, bedroom-stylee, give me a
shout.

sitting in san francisco this morning, i realized i'd missed the peel
session last night. or whenever it was. i can barely balance my dusty
checkbook or get to work on time, so it was unlikely that i would make the
time conversion and end up listening live.
so that's why it's nice that the bbc sees fit to put the shows up online
immediately. i've spent practically the whole day listening to it over and
over.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/rpms/peel_wed.rpm
the cover of 'nothing for christmas' is wonderful. and where did 'step
into my office, baby' come from? that's certainly got a lot of innuendo in
it, doesn't it?
setlist:
o come all ye faithful (w/choir)
christmas time is here
nothing for christmas
step into my office
jonathan david (stevie/stuart spar over religion, even!)
santa claus go straight to the ghetto (chris sings! james brown cover!)
photo jenny
little town of bethlehem
(jam with 'festive' bass & guitar ('oooh, that kills me,' says stuart.))
santa bring my baby back to me (lieber/stoller)
if you find yourself caught in love (new song!)
the boy with the arab strap
o come o come emanuel
get me away from here i'm dying
i took some time for christmas (new song)
12 days of christmas
all in all a hugely wonderful listen, with plenty of heart and humor. ah,
now, where's the cd of it? it's raining and hailing and blowing here on
the west coast, and this certainly made the day better and gave me hope
about piloting the vespa home through the inclement weather. you should
all listen, too.
stay warm,
ian

The moon slides across a giant bow-tie. If you squint you can see snow, then
you look back to wonder if it was ever there at all.
What would Irving Berlin say (I poured my heart into you, son)?
Hi there. I hope you are all well.
We're waiting for that day again, we love the songs and we love the drinking
and we love the weather, sometimes. You love to hail. We're walking out in
silver lines.
It's strange and unsettling the way Christmas moves in when your back is
turned, since fifteen years ago I wouldn't have eaten seventeen advent
calendar chocolates at once, I think. In fact, I know. My calendar is
Spiderman, and it says strange, cryptic things behind each window (behind
the first: 'This is your last chance'). I don't know WHAT to believe!
At work, we are concentrating on giving people nervous breakdowns. It's more
fun than actual work, and the prime culprit got a blue silk tie today for
his hard graft. I got a zip. Check: zip. Also at work, a man called 'Turner
Bone', like a cross between Tyrone and Max Power. I hope I never see the
man, for it will only end in disappointment. Always meet your heroes though
- they say things like 'I like your jumper'.
It was my birthday at the tail end of last month - I got three price
stickers, and a host of other items. One of the best; a t-shirt which
spouted, two years on, with all the delicious irony of it's conceiver -
'Brand New Friend'. !!. Sometimes, you know, I still think of things that
way.
Have you ever tried to write a song based around only one major rhyming
sound? It's not SO easy. What WOULD he say? (..looking for the tune..).
So, holiday season. I should buy some gifts, which is harder than it sounds.
It requires E.F.F.O.R.T. What's more, the sales are retracted and
Someone, somewhere, catches a(n) ('air')plane.
Have a lovely time. Spend more time than you should with your grandparents.
Merry Christmas.
Off with my glove. Love,
Alasdair xx
